I can inform the Deputy that based on current staffing figures, the additional annual salary cost to my Department of implementing a living wage of €11.90 per hour is estimated to be €1,289,854 for 403 staff.

These figures include bodies under the aegis of my Department with the exception of An Garda Síochána and the Irish Prison Service. I have asked An Garda Síochána and the Irish Prison Service to provide the information directly to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
